Remington NMA

[krshade]

I bought a new Rem New Model Army revolver this year. It is made by Pietta and marketed by Taylor's. It was marked 21 in a box on the side of the frame. Unlike any other I've seen, it has the front sight on a dovetail.

Is this only for Taylor's guns or are all Pietta NMA done like this? Anyone else seen one like this.

I bought a 2020 production 5.5 sheriff that is also dovetailed and was marked the same way. Also had 2020 under loading lever if I remember right.

I have 2 Piettas, 2 or 3 years old and they aren't dovetailed. MedicMike's post shows that must be a new and very welcome feature for Piettas. We used to have to buy a Uberti sight and dovetail it in.

Mine doesn't, must have been a mid-year change for Pietta. Now if they will just dovetail the loading lever latch in too like Uberti.

I have seen them listed both ways for some years. I was told by the DGW staff Pietta makes both. Per my Jan. 2019 buying trip to Dixie...c
